Ellie Marvel lives in Tennessee and went to school for far too long. She used to teach English and work in the marketing department of a large software company, not at the same time. Now she concentrates on writing, child herding, cat petting, and stuffing her too-small house full of vintage clothing she never wears, antique dishes she never uses, books she often reads, and groceries that never, ever go to waste.
